Today will be for ,many of us a wopndrous family day where we shatre the company of our family and friends.This,memorable day is an opportunity for laughter,wonderful food and the realization that our lives are filled with blessings.However, today will be another day of pain and suiffering for many around the worlld.Jews and Palestinians wil experience century old fears and hostilities. Others,.some perhaps close to our festivities, may have little to eat and may lack even tthe most basic hiuman needs. These and a host of other realities are reminders that in our celebration tjhere is always a layer of responsibility for each of us to try and make the world a llittle better for others. The greatest way to give thanks for all we have is to lift the burdfens of others so that they may experience some of the joy we feel today..
